25th Superstars in the 21st Century: James beat Curry first, Kobe only ranked sixth, and Durant eighth

25 years have passed in the 21st century, just one quarter of which has been selected. Some US media have also selected the 25 superstars of the 21st century. The top ten are James, Curry, Duncan, Jokic, O'Neal, Kobe, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Garnett, and Nowitzki.

James has been in the 21st century and is already one of the greatest superstars in history. He can even compete with Jordan for the throne of the first person in history. Therefore, he is undoubtedly the first person in the 21st century, and no one can challenge him.

It is worth mentioning that Curry ranks second, second only to James, surpassing Duncan, O'Neal and Kobe, three top ten superstars in history. Although Curry's career achievements are also quite high, he is not yet recognized as the top ten superstars in history, so it is still questionable that he ranks so high.

In addition, Jokic also ranked fourth, ranking higher than O'Neal and Kobe. Jokic has also achieved great success, but it is still difficult to surpass O'Neal and Kobe, especially in terms of the number of championships and FMVPs. However, Jokic is still in his peak period. If he can win one or two more championships, he is still expected to surpass O'Neal and Kobe.

Durant is an active historical superstar who is as famous as James and Curry, and is also a top ten superstar in quasi-history, but he is only ranked eighth and was compared by Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo's career achievements are also very high, but it is still difficult to surpass Durant now, but there are still great opportunities in the future.

Garnett and Nowitzki, two top power forwards, have won MVPs and championships, and have many career honors, so they are both ranked in the top ten in the 21st century, which is also reasonable. However, over time, they may be squeezed out by later generations.

Next, the 11th to 25th are Wade, Paul, Leonard, Nash, Harden, Doncic, Kidd, Howard, Davis, Iverson, McGrady, Lillard, Tatum, Alexander, and Westbrook.

Compared with the top ten superstars, these players' career achievements are relatively low. Some only have MVPs and no championships, such as Nash, Harden, Iverson, Westbrook; some only have championships and no MVPs, such as Wade, Leonard, Howard, Davis, Kidd; in addition, Paul, McGrady, and Lillard have neither championships nor MVPs. The three new generation superstars,

Doncic, Alexander and Tatum, are exceptions. They have just entered the peak of their careers, and their future careers are still long, and they are expected to achieve many achievements, and their historical status will continue to improve. Among them, Alexander and Tatum have won the championship, and Alexander has also won the MVP and FMVP. Only Doncic has fallen a little behind, but he has already proved his strength.
